The heart capsizes and sinks
in the sea of her absence.
Looming in its uncharted water,
an eerie air of unknown.
Through the upheaval of tides,
against the fainting glow of
raging rain-ripened clouds,
he hears the song of sirens.
Their melody, as ever enticing
yet poignantly retelling of
their out worldly ethereality.
The capsized heart, it spirals
in its bottomless grave
of listless, morbid water.
But for divine miracle of his faith,
in its dying undiscerning gasps,
amidst the rhythm of the tides,
it drifts ashore
to the longed-for land
where her love courses
an endless river.
